I don’t see many people these days,
There lights blind my eyes
I run and I hide.
My name is Aurora
Come north come at dark
And I’ll dance for you
Through the night.
My flowy dress twirls outwards
And my hair changes colours
You’ve never seen before.
My fingers writing stories in the sky
In a language long forgotten.
I see my face reflected
In the great lakes,
I really am radiant
And wanting to share my beauty.
I want somebody to talk to,
Somebody to sing to,
Somebody to quarrel with.
Come further north, further still
Bring no light of your own
For I’ll light our lives enough,
And you’ll only diminish me.
– Vagabond Prophet
